Let's Take This Outside

What happens when we play outside? 

  • We become healthier - both mentally and physically. 
  • We become more creative and more focused.
  • We connect - with nature, each other, and ourselves.

Let’s Take This Outside: a new podcast hosted by me - Mary Anne Ivison - an aspiring outdoor athlete and nature lover. I speak to athletes, outdoor professionals, and scientists about their connection to nature, how it affects their performance, and everyday life.
